Probiotics are only as good as their delivery system.

In other words, probiotics are only as effective as the number of live bacteria that make it to where they’re needed.

So if the bacteria all get dumped in one section of your intestines when the capsule bursts, how is that truly effective for the benefits you're investing into by buying a probiotic?

That's why MAKTrek® was engineered with over 40 years of experience, to form a protective barrier that carries live bacteria across your entire digestive tract, not just one stop.*

Your gut isn’t one stop. So why should your probiotic be?

Typical digestion & nutrient absorption takes up to 8 hours - but without a delivery system like MAKTrek® - the live bacteria faces these fates:

1. Killed off by stomach acid

  • this often happens without an engineered delivery system

2. Survives until a certain point in the intestines until the capsule finally bursts, distributing the live bacteria to a short portion of the GI system.

  • this often happens with only the use of an acid-resistant capsule
